]]>The days are getting shorter and we are losing daylight hours at this time of year, but make a plan, now, to keep active this winter as your body and mind will both benefit from it, enormously, in the end.

Getting active does not mean turning into an athlete overnight, it means keeping your body moving, on a daily basis.

As soon as the sun shines, get outside, and keep your vitamin D topped up. Even when it is cold outside, we can still get active, socialize and feel great. If it is too cold, meet some friends somewhere indoors.

Challenge yourself to keep active and keep moving, even when every temptation is to stay tucked up warm indoors.

Get Outdoors

Exercise generates heat in the body — enough to make us feel much warmer. Exercise outdoors is still possible in the winter and it can be very enjoyable if done safely and with planning.

Layering up is the most effective way to make sure you are warm without wearing something that inhibits you moving freely. Use a synthetic material for your base layer which wicks away the sweat is also a great tip.

Warming up is essential in the colder weather, so factor in some time for a warm up ahead of a run or outdoor activity. Also, unlike in summertime, with shorter days, less daylight and the dusk closing in earlier than usual in the evenings, if you normally exercise in the late afternoon, be sure to invest in some reflective clothing so other pedestrians and moving vehicles can see you in the dark.

In terms of other factors to consider, wind chill will affect the overall temperature, so know the true temperature before you plan any outdoor activity. If the temperature is close to freezing, but the wind speed is over five miles per hour, bring all exercises inside.

If you have medical conditions, such as asthma, heart problems or Raynaud’s disease, always seek advice from your physician first.

Swimming

Swimming is a great year-round sport. Indoor swimming is good for your health as the water supports your body but the resistance of the water provides gentle cardio which gets your heart rate up, whilst taking the impact stress off your body.

Swimming is good for multiple muscle groups so provides a full body workout. It is also very relaxing for the mind as when you are in the water all of your focus is on staying afloat and reaching the other side so any woes and worries simply drift away.

If you want to give yourself a really good workout, aim to swim for around 30-40 minutes, which allows for total exercise time to be about 30 minutes, once you include rest time. Build up slowly, you will find your body becomes more balanced in the water, the more frequently you swim and a balanced, streamlined body can move faster through the water. Your progress will give you a sense of satisfaction and improve overall general wellbeing.

Swimming is regularly praised for its cardiovascular health benefits, especially for seniors.

Get active around the home

If you have not been active up until this point, take it slow, but set yourself small, achievable goals.

Firstly, instead of sitting inside and watching TV, proactively use colder days to make a list and gradually catch up on jobs around the house. Short bursts of energy are recommended over and above longer tasks which will become tiring.

Remember you do not need to do aerobic activity to work your muscles. Housework, washing the dog and vacuuming are all physical activities which get your body moving, keep your heart rate up and all help keep towards feeling busy and fulfilled. In the long run these small burst of energy will help towards your fitness levels which promotes overall good health.

Even an activity as simple as sorting through old boxes or having a good clear out of a closet, will keep your body moving and your mind focused on the task – which is great for a sense of purpose and a feeling of satisfaction afterwards as well as a gentle body workout.

What we are not reminded of, often enough, is simply living our daily lives and moving our bodies, expends energy and increases muscle strength.

Have fun

Getting physical doesn’t have to involve a structured sport or class.

Why not get the family together and go for a long walk, fly a kite or throw a ball for your dog?

You would also be surprised how much walking you will do if you organize a family trip to the zoo or a museum. Real life education also has the benefit of sharpening the mind and a day trip will make family memories to share and last a lifetime.

Planning a day out will also add structure to the colder months and give you something to look forward to.

Getting active on days out with great friends or family is a wonderful way to stay active.

Eat well

Make a pact with yourself to eat even more healthily through the colder months. With shorter, darker days and a reduction in sunshine and vitamin D, we get carbohydrate cravings due to a reduction in serotonin, which then in turn looks to carbs for a boost. Try and resist this process, stay focused on a variety of food stuffs at each meal and when the sun shines, get outside for all of that lovely vitamin D.

Eating fresh and healthy foods will fuel your body with correct, consistent levels of energy needed to give you the enthusiasm for activity. Junk food will give you spikes and troughs in energy and you will become lethargic, which will make it even harder to get motivated.

Eating well also gives us a better chance in fighting off viruses and bacteria. Although we cannot prevent a virus from latching onto us, we can eat the right foods to support and strengthen our immune systems which in turn step up and fend off the virus on our behalf. Eating balanced, healthy meals three times a day is important and scientists recommend that these meals include antioxidant-rich foods such as fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein in order to stave off infection and illness.

]]>With Christmas fast approaching, and all the little extras on the shopping list mounting up, it can become an expensive time of year. Here are five ways in which seniors can save some money this holiday season.

Make the most of our top tips from the Lifton Home Elevators team and you may find that you have a little bit more to spend on all those Christmas treats.

1. Save on the weekly groceries

Unknown to some, many grocery stores run some great discounts available just for seniors, and with the rising cost of living and food prices on the increase, cutting the monthly food budget by 5-10 per cent can make a big difference to the bank balance.

Ask at your favorite local grocery store to find out what they are offering. Often discounts are available for either 55+ or 65+ and might involve you joining a ‘VIP club’ or shopping on a certain day or time to qualify for the discount.

2. Car Insurance discounts

Put a date in the dairy for when your car insurance expires, and make sure you take your time to shop around. There are lots of deals out there for safe drivers who are over 55. It is a perk to all that driving experience you have accumulated and you deserve to be rewarded by the insurance companies for that.

3. Get out and about for free

Seniors who are planning a trip or just like getting out and exploring, could consider getting a ‘Senior Pass’. Over 2,000 recreation sites across the U.S. including national parks are now accessible for free to anyone over 62 holding a pass. These passes are offered by the government to US citizens and permanent residents.

For just $80 you can get a lifetime pass which also allows free entry to a travelling companion, which is a great way to save money, whilst expanding your horizons.

4. Eat out and save

As with grocery stores, many restaurants great discounts for seniors too. With most major US restaurant brands offering between 10-15 per cent off food bills, or free drinks, to those aged over 55 or 65, it is an opportunity to save lots of money when you’re out for a festive celebration or just feel like a night out.

5. Rest easy with hotel discounts

Travelling as a senior offers its own financial benefits with major discounts on hotel rooms, rental cars and flights. Many big-name U.S.-wide hotel brands offer discounts of up to 30 per cent for seniors, so check before you travel to make some huge savings as well as great new memories on your Christmas trip this year.

]]>While it may be disheartening to say goodbye to warm, summer days, there is plenty of fun activities for seniors to look forward to this fall. In many parts of the USA, Autumn is the most picturesque time of the year, with blue skies, frosts and an abundance of warm, crisp leaves falling onto the sidewalks. It is the ideal season for outdoor activities, but also to stay warm and cozy indoors, which gives you plenty of options on how to fill your days. Here are five enjoyable activities that you can do this fall:

1) GO FOR A WALK

This time of the year is the best time to get outside and enjoy the crisp, fresh air. What better way to do so, than to go for a walk around the neighborhood and admire the leaves changing color. Regular exercise has not only been proven to reduce the risk of health problems like joint pain and loss of strength in muscles, but also encourages your brain to release endorphins, making you feel happy, positive and satisfied for longer.

2) BAKING

Baking in the fall is a treat like no other. Fall baking leaves your home smelling wonderful thanks to the Autumn flavors of apple, pumpkin and caramel. Pecan pies, ginger cookies and apple strudel are just some of the delicious treats that you can bake on a quiet afternoon. Sharing your creations with your neighbors, family and friends can be really fulfilling and enjoyable too.

3) KEEP WARM AND COZY

Sometimes it can be a little bit too chilly to venture outside in the strong winds and frost. Why not, stay inside, light a fire and cozy up in your armchair with your favorite book and a hot chocolate for an afternoon well spent? Or why not watch a movie? Keeping warm and cozy inside is the perfect fall activity.

4) VISIT A PUMPKIN PATCH

A trip to a pumpkin patch is a fun, fall day out, no matter what age you are. With hayrides, pumpkin carving and corn mazes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. This seasonal outing is particularly enjoyable if you bring your grandchildren along with you. Do not forget to wrap up warm though – crisp, blue skies can be deceiving, especially if you’re exposed to all the elements on a farm or large field.

5) GARDENING

Gardening helps seniors to get their muscles moving and soak up some Vitamin C. It is particularly enjoyable for those who planted vegetables over the summer, as it is now the ideal opportunity to harvest them and use them to cook exciting, fall recipes. You can also plant bulbs ready for the following Spring so that you will have some beautiful flowers to look forward to seeing bloom.

]]>People of the older generation understandably want to stay and live independently at home for as long as possible. Here are five ways to keep living the life you have chosen and enjoy it to the fullest.

1. Focus on Fitness

Keeping fit is important at all stages of life but as we age and the chances of a fall increases, fitness is vital.

Exercises that focus on strength and balance are particularly important as older people often have poor balance due to a number of factors such as deteriorating vision and loss of muscle strength or joint flexibility.

Exercise, alongside a healthy diet, can keep you independent for longer by fighting off illness and strengthening your body, which in turn reduces the risk of a fall.

Gentle activities which can be enjoyed are daily walks, water aerobics, a round of golf or a yoga class.

2. Don’t Skip Medical Appointments

Always attend your medical appointments because it is better to detect a health issue early and address it with the right medication, than leave it too late and risk immobilizing yourself with a trip or fall.

A routine check-up is also your chance to speak to the doctor and ask any questions you may have. It also creates a good bond between you and your healthcare professionals so you work towards a common goal of taking all the necessary steps to stay independent, active and healthy.

A medical professional will also be able to organize a home assessment which supports your evolving needs such as the installation of a Lifton home elevator or eliminate any potential hazards.

3. Get Involved in Your Community

Whilst it will be fun to enjoy a new laid-back lifestyle in your retirement, a sense of purpose is a basic psychological need and by setting yourself a loose but regular schedule of events, you will feel motivated, positive and your daily life will feel more meaningful.

Volunteering also has psychological benefits as it increases overall life satisfaction and helps you feel good about yourself because you are helping others. It can also help to decreases stress, ease depression and combat loneliness.

The feeling of satisfaction, belonging, and emotional bolstering that comes from giving something back to your local community, is tangible. Taking part in community initiatives, events, or neighborhood programs also gets you in front of like-minded people, helps keep your brain and body active, and even creates opportunities to develop new skills and interests.

Being active in the community in old age is a way to challenge the isolation and social exclusion that many older people feel in western societies which are much more tailored to the young.

4. Make Use of Connected Technology

Using email, social media and your smart phone are great ways to keep in touch with friends and family and reach out if you need help and support.

The internet of things also makes life at home easier as nowadays you can control the heating, the lighting and even home security systems from a simple app on your phone.

All of these functions help to run a more efficient home and often have a positive financial impact, leaving you to enjoy the savings on having a great retirement.

5. Save for the Daily Bills but Consider Long-Term Care Insurance

Retirement savings are important for living an independent lifestyle, but whilst they are key for covering daily purchases such as food, housing and clothes, if there comes a time when you might need extra care for eating, dressing etc, a financial back-up plan is going to be a good idea.

Insurance for long-term care is one option. It covers services like home care and assisted living when you have a high level of need.

Research to date has demonstrated that those who tap into their insurance benefits have a high level of satisfaction in regards to receiving significant help.

]]>Thanks to the pioneering research and development team at Lifton Home Elevators, anyone with a need or a desire to own a elevator in the home, now can. There is no typical customer here at Lifton, but one piece of feedback that we continue to receive is that installing one of our residential elevaors changes lives on a daily basis.

Improved Accessibility

Whether you own a townhouse, or you live in a penthouse or you do not want to downsize but cannot manage the stairs anymore, a Lifton Home Elevator increases accessibility to all areas of your home, whenever you require, day and night. Nothing is off limits and you can immediately enjoy the freedom and convenience that a stylish Lifton home lift provides.

Retirement

You have lived in your family home for a very long time. You have made a lot of memories there and you enjoy the neighborhood and your friends are close by. Fewer people choose to downsize, if they can stay in place, nowadays. Moving is very expensive and far outweighs the cost and convenience a Lifton elevator can provide, so many of our Lifton customers are at retirement age.

Operation, disability or illness

If you need to make a few fast changes in your home, either our LiftonDUO Home Elevator or LiftonTRIO Home Elevator can be delivered and installed in most cases in under one day. It can be fitted almost anywhere of your choice as it is freestanding and powered by the mains power supply with no requirement for a supporting wall or hydraulics. It can go from a hallway to the landing or from a living area to a bedroom. Whatever is most convenient for you. The Lifton range is also available in a larger width which can accommodate a standard sized wheelchair or walker and there is a thru-car option meaning passengers can enter and exit from either side, for maximum convenience.

Future-proofing

Future-proofing is like forward planning. In the home environment, it is all about anticipating your future needs and adapting you home to accommodate them to reduce any stresses further down the line. Even before you physically need to use the lift, it is a fantastic, hardworking addition to the household. Our customers mostly say it is in place for when they cannot manage the stairs one day, but in the meantime, it is amazing for their elderly relatives, or transporting heavy laundry and luggage or the vacuum cleaner!

Why the Lifton Home Elevator is so popular

The Lifton residential elevator is so popular with such a diverse range of people and circumstances because it is designed with customers’ needs in mind. Attractive and stylish so it adds to the elegance of a room, the lift glides quietly and smoothly between floors at the touch of a button. It includes two handy remote controls so wherever you are you can call it to you. And it can be used day and night thanks to its soft atmosphere downlighting.

Quick Installation

Installing in one day, it is the answer to an urgent need, but also a busy schedule, because the Lifton team are in and out of your property so quickly, you can just get right on with your regular plans. Lifton home elevators require no lift shaft, pit or separate machine room and are built to support themselves on two slimline stilts, so you will not be limited to an area in your home with a load bearing wall and you will not need electrics or pipes reworked. The only job required to have a professional builder is the small opening in the ceiling for the elevator to pass through between the floors.

]]>The guiding principal when designing the Lifton Home Elevator was to ensure that the same level of attention to detail was driven into the look and feel of the residential elevator as the technical performance. The result – an outstanding home lift which is admired and acclaimed and rapidly growing in demand in all US states.

Technically, the Lifton Home Elevator is a masterclass in engineering. Modular in design, making low ceilings, small spaces and even corners no problem, the home lift arrives in pieces and is simply built into place. It also runs on its own free standing, self-supporting stilts system, which means no supporting wall, no noisy machine room and no lift pit or shaft is needed. Homeowners get to keep their property, just as they like it, and the Lifton residential elevator just blends pleasingly into the background.

Moving gracefully between floors in under 30 seconds, it is the travel experience that makes the range of Lifton home elevators incomparable. Its ergonomic design has people in mind and although it has one of the smallest footprints on the market, it is also remarkably light and spacious inside. Two passengers can travel comfortably side by side and a neutral colorway creates a sense of space. The Lifton Home Elevator also has a completely transparent surround which allows natural light to flood through, leaving your room bright and airy.

With clean lines, minimalistic controls and an emphasis on quality over quantity – the Lifton home lift appears uncluttered and is visually calming and relaxing. Bespoke finishes are available and the Lifton residential elevators can be customized by choosing a different color lift car, rails and interior lining to suit your final project plans.

Whether you are upgrading your existing living space, future-proofing your home or researching a mobility solution – but you just cannot compromise on style – the Lifton Home Elevator is at your service.

]]>Lifton Home Elevators was proud to install its first residential elevator in New Jersey.

The Lifton fitted a LiftonDUO residential elevator in the Hopatcong after receiving approval from the state which have specific requirements for the installation of home elevators.

Unlike a traditional elevator lift which is bigger, more difficult to install and also often requires a substantial amount of space which many homeowners do not possess, the Lifton Home Elevator was for the perfect solution for this property in Sussex County.

It took just one day for the Lifton team to have the DUO Home Elevator installed in the home whereas old-fashioned elevator lift can take more than a week. The new owners, who considered themselves part of the rock and roll generation, decided against a stair lift as did not want a product in the home which was associated with getting old, while a traditional elevator was considered too expensive and intrusive in the home.

The homeowners were passionately pro-active about aging in place and finding a solution which would protect their lifestyle – even before they fully need them.

The design of Lifton home elevators are sleek, modern and more reflective of how the rock and roll generation would perceive themselves. It also, however, gave the owners peace of mind that they can move from floor to floor independently in their home lift without fear of falling.

At Lifton, we also believe by installing such a product as a home elevator it will add value to the home, make it more saleable and make it more marketable in the property market to senior citizens.

The elevator lift has added benefit as the Lifton residential elevator can act as the perfect dumb waiter. It can also reduce injuries caused by carrying heavy items up and down stairs – like suitcases and vacuum cleaners.

The installation at Hopatcong looked undeniably cool – which – at Lifton – we believe is exactly how today’s seniors see themselves.

]]>Residential elevators are becoming an increasingly common sight in homes across the USA. Quality of life is greatly improved with the installation of a residential elevator. Older Americans can stay in their homes for as long as they choose whilst keeping their independence. Added to which, a residential elevator is a life changer for those facing mobility challenges at home.

One of the most common initial questions we get at Lifton Home Elevators, is how safe is a residential elevator? Below we answer some of the most frequently asked questions we receive to get you started.

1) What happens in the event of a power outage?

This a really good question, because the residential elevator is powered by electricity. Should this happen, we have it covered. Thanks to a smart integrated battery back-up facility, the Lifton residential elevator will automatically descend gently to the lower floor of your property where you and any other passengers can wait for the power to return in comfort and safety.

We even offer the option of an uninterrupted power supply. This system can be installed at an extra cost but will allow for numerous trips both up and down while the main power to the residential elevator is off.

2) What happens if something obstructs the lift while it is moving?

The Lifton residential elevator has safety sensors fitted above and below the lift car which detect obstructions and smoothly stop the car if required. The elevator will only begin moving again once the obstruction has been removed. A full height light curtain, which is located at the entrance to the lift, also acts as a protective sensor. If the light curtain is crossed at any point during transit, the elevator will stop until the obstruction is removed.

3) How in control of the lift are you?

The Lifton residential elevator is fitted with ‘hold to run’ controls meaning the passenger operates and has total control of the elevator at all times when it is moving. If you stop pressing the button, the elevator will naturally come to a stop.

4) Can I fall out of a residential elevator?

It is not possible to fall out of the elevator. Lifton residential elevators are fitted with a self-closing, locking, hinged door which acts as a protective barrier when the elevator is in operation. The door lock only releases when the lift arrives safely at its destination.

5) Do home lifts have a weight limit?

Yes they do. Lifton residential elevators can carry a capacity of 170kg – that is 27 stone or 375 pounds and are kitted out with weight limit sensors. If this weight is exceeded, the elevator will not move. In addition, the elevator has sensors that can detect if it is out of balance. If it is, these will stop the elevator from moving. In the unlikely event the elevator travels too fast, an over speed sensor will stop it from travelling.

6) What happens when it is dark at night and I want to use the elevator?

The Lifton Home Elevator features attractive contemporary LED lights at the top and bottom of the car for your comfort of travel and ease of use at night.

At Lifton Home Elevators, we hope that this has helped some of your questions, however, if you will like to find out more please visit our FAQs page or home elevators range page, contact the team on (610) 419-3200 or complete the contact us page and we will get straight back to you at a time which is convenient to you.

]]>The definition of ‘future proofing’ is to anticipate the future and develop methods of minimizing the effects of the shocks or stresses of future events.

Increasingly home owners are taking a positive and practical approach to the future and safeguarding their lifestyles in their ‘forever homes’ in advance.

The family home is a continually evolving environment and if you live in a two storey or multi-storey property, at points the stairs can become restrictive, so a popular home upgrade is to install a private elevator.

How to create an age appropriate home – stylishly!

As the share of seniors is on the rise at a national level, homeowners are turning to home elevators to give their family homes longevity and flexibility as well as avoiding the costs and upheaval of moving or downsizing.

The Lifton Home Elevator, is becoming very popular as it is specifically designed to naturally blend within the home environment.

Created to be admired and then forgotten, the Lifton home lift is slender and semi-transparent allowing natural daylight to flood through. It is modular which means it can be taken apart, transported and re-built with ease into almost any location.

Once installed (usually in no more than one day), it simply plugs straight into the wall and is ready to go. Travelling between floors in under 30 seconds, this residential elevator is fast, smooth and whisper-quiet in motion, with its own integrated motor in the lift lid. No lift pit, shaft or noisy engine room are needed. You just plug – and play!

The Importance of Research and Reputation

The key to any good decision on ‘future proofing’ is research. Until quite recently, the only available mobility solution was a stair lift, which would eat up space on your staircase, require lots of maintenance and involve some sort of assistance when climbing on and off.
